Flowers is a metaphor for God. This brings the concept of spiritualism and faith into terms a child can understand and expressed as a simple concept: if you don't know for sure, why would you choose to believe the lesser thought?

In the beginning, flowers are a mystery, not seen or touched. The main character, Yulee, says, "How can you believe in something you can't see or touch?"

He is on a journey of discovery that brings him to those who believe in flowers and those who don't. Yulee decides it is better to believe there can be flowers than to believe flowers can never exist. The existence of flowers becomes a choice and expression of faith.

At the end of the story, flowers do appear, and Yulee declares, "It takes faith first, and you see what can happen."

A short story that articulates faith in God, the choice to believe, and the power of that decision.
